The Echelle’s mountain pass in the Alps is since the refugee crisis an unrestricted path for migrants wanting to go to France. From Saturday to Sunday noon, “Generation Identitaire” militants undertook a border security operation.

The activists placed a physical barrier and stood their ground to stop any migrant who could have come cross the French-Italian border.

Their mission: To shed light on the quasi-invasion of Europe by Third World migrants. According to Romain Espino, the spokesperson of “Generation Identitaire”, they wanted to show the French authorities that, with some willpower, securing the border was not that difficult.

Just a few hours after their departure from the area, according to Gerrard Collomb, France’s Interior Minister, between 300 and 400 French and Italian pro-migrant militants, from the Soros funded “No Border” and Antifa, helped more than 30 migrants cross the border.

As they were crossing, the pro-migrant group and migrants encountered the French police, during which a violent confrontation occurred. According to Collomb, one police car was damaged, two police officers were injured, and two pro-migrant militants were arrested. They have been charged with “assisting the entry of foreigners in an irregular situation on the national territory and in an organised gang”.

For the young identitarians, it was a big success. Minister Collomb sent “important” police reinforcements hours after the departure of “Defend Europe”, to “assure absolute respect for the border’s security”.

It was also a PR success. Since Sunday, France’s news outlets, often criticised for their lack of coverage on immigration, can’t seem to stop talking about it.

Romain Espino said on Monday morning that they won’t stop here, and as soon as next week they’ll start patrolling near the area and secure it.
